New option --pkey-only is available for all LDAPSearch based classes
with primary key visible in the output. This option makes LDAPSearch
commands search for primary attribute only.
This may be useful when manipulating large data sets. User can at
first retrieve all primary keys in a relatively small data package
and then run further commands with retrieved primary keys.

When the NGP plugin is enabled, a managed netgroup is created for
every hostgroup. We already check that netgroup with the same
name does not exist and provide a meaningful error message.
However, this error message was also printed when a duplicate
hostgroup existed.
This patch checks for duplicate hostgroup existence first and
netgroup on the second place. It also makes sure that when NGP
plugin is (temporarily) disabled, a colliding netgroup cannot
be created.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1914
For every hostgroup a managed netgroup is created (if this is allowed).
Make sure that if a stand-alone netgroup exists, a hostgroup with the
same name cannot be created to prevent collisions.

This patch reverts the use of pygettext for i18n string extraction. It
was originally introduced because the help documentation for commands
are in the class docstring and module docstring.
Docstrings are a Python construct whereby any string which immediately
follows a class declaration, function/method declaration or appears
first in a module is taken to be the documentation for that
object. Python automatically assigns that string to the __doc__
variable associated with the object. Explicitly assigning to the
__doc__ variable is equivalent and permitted.
We mark strings in the source for i18n translation by embedding them
in _() or ngettext(). Specialized extraction tools (e.g. xgettext)
scan the source code looking for strings with those markers and
extracts the string for inclusion in a translation catalog.
It was mistakingly assumed one could not mark for translation Python
docstrings. Since some docstrings are vital for our command help
system some method had to be devised to extract docstrings for the
translation catalog. pygettext has the ability to locate and extract
docstrings and it was introduced to acquire the documentation for our
commands located in module and class docstrings.
However pygettext was too large a hammer for this task, it lacked any
fined grained ability to extract only the docstrings we were
interested in. In practice it extracted EVERY docstring in each file
it was presented with. This caused a large number strings to be
extracted for translation which had no reason to be translated, the
string might have been internal code documentation never meant to be
seen by users. Often the superfluous docstrings were long, complex and
likely difficult to translate. This placed an unnecessary burden on
our volunteer translators.
Instead what is needed is some method to extract only those strings
intended for translation. We already have such a mechanism and it is
already widely used, namely wrapping strings intended for translation
in calls to _() or _negettext(), i.e. marking a string for i18n
translation. Thus the solution to the docstring translation problem is
to mark the docstrings exactly as we have been doing, it only requires
that instead of a bare Python docstring we instead assign the marked
string to the __doc__ variable. Using the hypothetical class foo as
an example.
class foo(Command):
'''
The foo command takes out the garbage.
'''
Would become:
class foo(Command):
__doc__ = _('The foo command takes out the garbage.')
But which docstrings need to be marked for translation? The makeapi
tool knows how to iterate over every command in our public API. It was
extended to validate every command's documentation and report if any
documentation is missing or not marked for translation. That
information was then used to identify each docstring in the code which
needed to be transformed.
In summary what this patch does is:
* Remove the use of pygettext (modification to install/po/Makefile.in)
* Replace every docstring with an explicit assignment to __doc__ where
the rhs of the assignment is an i18n marking function.
* Single line docstrings appearing in multi-line string literals
(e.g. ''' or """) were replaced with single line string literals
because the multi-line literals were introducing unnecessary
whitespace and newlines in the string extracted for translation. For
example:
'''
The foo command takes out the garbage.
'''
Would appear in the translation catalog as:
"\n
The foo command takes out the garbage.\n
"
The superfluous whitespace and newlines are confusing to translators
and requires us to strip leading and trailing whitespace from the
translation at run time.
* Import statements were moved from below the docstring to above
it. This was necessary because the i18n markers are imported
functions and must be available before the the doc is
parsed. Technically only the import of the i18n markers had to
appear before the doc but stylistically it's better to keep all the
imports together.
* It was observed during the docstring editing process that the
command documentation was inconsistent with respect to the use of
periods to terminate a sentence. Some doc had a trailing period,
others didn't. Consistency was enforced by adding a period to end of
every docstring if one was missing.
Add a new command that lets you wait for an attribute to appear in
a value. Using this you can do things like wait for a managed entry
to be created, adding a new objectclass to the parent entry.
This is controlled by a new booleon option, wait_for_attr, defaulting
to False.

The CSS text-transform sometimes produces incorrect capitalization,
so the code has been modified to use translated labels that already
contain the correct capitalization.
Ticket #1424
The object_name, object_name_plural and messages that use these
attributes have been converted to support translation. The label
attribute in the Param class has been modified to accept unicode
string.
Ticket #1435
The object_name attribute was used as both an identifier and a
label which sometimes require different values (e.g. hbacrule
vs. HBAC rule). The code that uses object_name as an identifier
has been changed to use the 'name' attribute instead. The values
of the object_name attribute have been fixed to become proper
labels.
Ticket #1217
The following invalid associations have been removed:
- group's memberindirect netgroup and role
- hostgroup's memberofindirect host
Ticket #1366
Ticket #1367
A new attribute label_singular has been added to all entities which
contains the singular form of the entity label in lower cases except
for acronyms (e.g. HBAC) or proper nouns (e.g. Kerberos). In the Web
UI, this label can be capitalized using CSS text-transform.
The existing 'label' attribute is intentionally left unchanged due to
inconsistencies in the current values. It contains mostly the plural
form of capitalized entity label, but some are singular. Also, it
seems currently there is no comparable capitalization method on the
server-side. So more work is needed before the label can be changed.
Ticket #1249
This creates a new custom attribute, memberofindirect_[plugin].
Using this you can tell the difference between being an actual memberof
another entry and being a memberof as the result if inheritence. This is
particularly useful when trying to remove members of an entry, you can
only remove direct members.
I had to add a couple of short sleep calls to make things work a little
better. The memberof plugin runs as a postop and we have no way of knowing
when it has done its work. If we don't pause we may show some stale
data that memberof hasn't updated yet. .3 seconds is an arbitrary choice.

This is required for effective filtering of enrollments search
results in the webUI and also gives an edge to the CLI.
After this patch, each LDAPObject can define its relationships
to other LDAPObjects. For now, this is used only for filtering
search results by enrollments, but there are probably more
benefits to come.
You can do this for example:
# search for all users not enrolled in group admins
ipa user-find --not-in-groups=admins
# search for all groups not enrolled in group global with user Pavel
ipa group-find --users=Pavel --not-in-groups=global
# more examples:
ipa group-find --users=Pavel,Jakub --no-users=Honza
ipa hostgroup-find --hosts=webui.pzuna
The changes include:
* Change license blobs in source files to mention GPLv3+ not GPLv2 only
* Add GPLv3+ license text
* Package COPYING not LICENSE as the license blobs (even the old ones)
mention COPYING specifically, it is also more common, I think
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/239
LDAPSearch base class has now the ability to generate additional
options for objects with member attributes. These options are
used to filter search results - search only for objects without
the specified members.
Example:
ipa group-find --no-users=admin
Only direct members are taken into account.
Ticket #288
re-based got pushed for some reason.
Use better description for group names in help and always prompt for members
When running <foo>-[add|remove]-member completely interactively it didn't
prompt for managing membership, it just reported that 0 members were
handled which was rather confusing.
This will work via a shell if you want to echo too:
$ echo "" | ipa group-add-member g1
This returns 0 members because nothing is read for users or group members.
$ echo -e "g1\nadmin\n" | ipa group-add-member
This adds the user admin to the group g1. It adds it as a user because
user membership is prompted for first.
ticket 415
This is done by creating a new attribute, memberindirect, to hold this
indirect membership.
The new function get_members() can return all members or just indirect or
direct. We are only using it to retrieve indirect members currently.
This also:
* Moves all member display attributes into baseldap.py to reduce duplication
* Adds netgroup nesting
* Use a unique object name in hbacsvc and hbacsvcgroup
ticket 296
The remove member function in baseldap was not returning failures at all.
The add member function was only showing them in the group object.
Most of the magic is handled in baseldap. Each plugin just needs to define
object_name and object_name_plural. object_name must be all lower-case
because fake-attributes are created so membership can be broken out
per-object type. I left the plural name lower case as well.
ticket 85
The attributes displayed is now dependant upon their definition in
a Param. This enhances that, giving some level of control over how
the result is displayed to the user.
This also fixes displaying group membership, including failures of
adding/removing entries.
All tests pass now though there is still one problem. We need to
return the dn as well. Once that is fixed we just need to comment
out all the dn entries in the tests and they should once again
pass.
